We are collecting our Vision Virginia State Missions Offering in the month of September. This offering supports important ministries of our state convention like church planting, disaster relief, seminary scholarships, church strengthening, and many other important projects. Our church goal is $5,000. More info about this offering is available at sbcv.org/visionvirginia.

We have the opportunity to support some of our International Mission Board (IMB) missionaries while they are on stateside assignment. We will be touring and prayer walking at the International Learning Center (ILC) in Rockville, VA, on Friday, October 9. At that time, we will be delivering prizes and treats to be used during their stateside conference the following week. We are looking to purchase gift cards, candy, and other snacks for the effort. You can give by donating individually wrapped candy or $25-50 gift cards to Starbucks, Chick-fil-A, or Amazon. Candy can be placed in the labeled box in the fellowship hall. Gift cards should be placed in the offering plate or turned in to the church office. Financial donations are also welcome and should be turned in to the church office or labeled and placed in the offering plate. If you have questions or are interested in traveling to the ILC with us on October 9, please contact Pastor Adam.

Our Goshen men will be leading a video-driven men’s Bible study called Footsteps of Paul: Bold Brotherhood, Gospel Mission beginning Saturday, September 19. The study is by Tony Merida, who pastors Imago Dei Church in Raleigh, NC. The group will meet each Saturday at 8 am for 8 weeks at the church, either in the fellowship hall or the large room in the basement, depending on availability. The cost of the book for the study is $15. This includes access to the study videos on your own in case you miss a week or two of the study. You can sign up for the study either in the Goshen app or on the bulletin board in the main hallway. If you sign up in the app, you will need to pay for your book at that time. If you sign up on the bulletin board, you can pay by turning your money into the church office or placing it in the offering plate with a note that it is for your book for the men’s Bible study. Please sign up as soon as possible so we can make sure we have enough books prior to the start of the study. Contact Pastor Adam with any questions.

Our worship team is looking for more voices and instrumentalists to help lead worship each week. If you sing or play guitar, drums, piano, or any other instrument, we’d love to have you join us. You do not have to be a professional musician – just someone willing to use your gifts to serve the Lord. If you are interested, please contact Travis Earley at tsearley91@gmail.com.

Have a favorite song or a song we haven’t done in a while? Please feel free to share it with Travis or any member of the Worship team. Whether it’s a hymn, worship song, or just a special piece that speaks to your heart, we would LOVE to hear it. Let us know and we’ll do our best to include it in an upcoming service!

One of the groups we offer in the Goshen app is our Prayer Community. We encourage you to join this group and use this tool for your prayer requests. This is an easy and great way to get requests out immediately without having to go through the church office. If you have any questions about the app or how to join one of the groups, please contact the office.
